helwenThis past Saturday was Ashfield Farmers Market's opening day for the season.
Brought the tent for the niece and nephew, B and C, as they've taken over selling there. They'll use our tent until they can get a replacement for the farm. Chatted with a new vendor, ran across the street to the First Congo's fundraiser plant sale and bought a golden sage and some lemon balm, then back to the farmers market. Mostly just chatted with various folks, but did buy Swiss Chard seedlings and then sold some to the vendor I get bacon from (sodium nitrite-free and smoked with our family's maple syrup), and traded a few with a friend who'd bought curly kale. I still have a good bit of the chard, as the 6-pack came with multiples per pot.
Also picked up a Juliet paste tomato and a Valencia tomato, and may pick up a couple more next week, as B, C, and I will be doing some canning together this year. Oh, and some red leaf lettuce.
Now we really need to finish clearing enough space by the milk house so I can build a raised bed :D
